The Liquid Face Lift
We LOVE this procedure! Our patients can’t believe how natural and soft the results are and in many cases the change is dramatic…all with a no down-time 20 minute procedure with minimal discomfort. We use nerve blocks that make the treatment virtually painless. I tend to use Perlane for this since it lasts a little longer than Restylane but for patients that are partial to Juvederm or Radiesse we can use either with equal results. What we do is fill in the hollow where the malar fat pad used to sit before it took a trip south thanks to gravity. What this does is re-volumize that upper mid cheek region and it literally lifts up the mid face. For patients with deep smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines (Mesolabial folds) we fill those with Perlane primarily. The corners of the mouth can literally be brought up so that there is less down-turning and frown-like appearance. We also fill along the jawline to soften any lax or sagging of the jowls giving the jawline a smoother flowing line. We combine this treatment with other laser procedures like the Pearl laser peel or Fraxel and end up with a neat little “mini makeover”.
